I had an old Fiat 500 D. It was the only car I ever owned that little kids on banana seat 20" bicycles could out run... I'll bet the new 500 can't be loaded into the bed of a F-150 pickup by two hippies and a drunk cowboy like the old 500 could.. I think the thing might have been a little faster than a 750cc Cushman meter maid three wheeler but only because the Cushman has a governor on it... The new one needs suicide doors, retractable fabric roof and air cooledc engine like the real deal had, well maybe not the engine... It would have been a great little car if it could have gone 35 mph on level ground and not have to be shifted into the non synchronized 1st gear and pushed up relatively slight hills by a passenger.. My seven foot tall 300 lb cousin and I were pretty comfortable in it but only because the fabric top could be easily opened...When 1st gear went out there was no way it could be driven except maybe down a steep hill. It sure seemed to have a lot less horsepower than the advertised 22 HP that it was claimed to have...

Also a mid 90s Neon came with 4 wheel discs too, I guess the Neon is better than the Fit as well.

Not to mention what the hell is that thing, it's a design disaster!
Best post in the thread. Logic is mostly absent on this site.
